The wooden panelled car, built around a mobility scooter, has been turning heads on the streets of Golcar, Slaithwaite, Marsden and Longwood in the two years since it was built by Allan, who is a joiner.

On Friday, PC Sally Baines and colleagues showed Frankie and his dad around a police van and then handed over a goodie bag containing a police cap badge, police tie, mouse mat, stickers, sweets, police tape, forensic gloves and an evidence bag.

Allan, who lives in Golcar, said: “The officers asked if the car had a motor, which it does. They showed us the cells in the back of the police van. I told them that Frankie was interested in becoming a police officer.
